I am learning so much about dinosaurs!

In the dinosaur family from dinosauria there are two orders: dinosaurs are either: Saurischian dinosaurs  meaning "Lizard-Hipped" or  Ornithischian meaning "Bird-Hipped". Then we have two sub orders for the "Lizard-Hipped" or Saurischia: Sauropoda (quadruped herbivore- 4 legged plant eater) and Theropoda (biped carnivore - 2 legged meat eater) is the sub-order of the velociraptor


. The three suborders of Ornithischia:


and Ornithischia is the 3 sub orders for the Bird-Hipped ,Thyreophora (armored herbivore quadruped), Maryinocephal fringed heads (plant-eater Horns or thick skull) and the Ornithopoa (meaning "bird feet plant eater) is the sub-order of the duck billed dinosaurs.

Narrowing my topic!

I have to narrow it down to a meat-eater and a plant-eater.I picked Velociraptor and Parasaurolophus.Now I have to compare them and going to research how they are different and how they alike. I going to read books about dinosaurs and research websites.

I picked my topic!

I picked dinosaurs! Now I have to narrow my topic.I might pick a meat-eater and a plant-eater so I can compare them. I can't decide between a Velociraptor or Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Triceratops or Brachiosaurus/Apatosaurus.

These are some questions I will answer I my  study: 
1. Where did dinosaurs live?
2.When did dinosaurs live?
3.How did dinosaurs live?
4. What did dinosaurs eat?
5.How did dinosaurs get thier names?
6.Who discovered dinosaurs?
